A Grateful Heart, The Story of a Second Heart Transplant

My name is Catherine Lemieux and I am married to the most amazing man, Steven Lemieux! This year will be our 18th year of marriage! He is my soulmate, my best friend, the love of my life!💕

Currently, Steven is being evaluated to get a second heart transplant and a possible kidney transplant. ❤️‍🩹 Can I just tell you that it is super scary. So mostly, can I ask you for all your prayers for Steven at this time. 🙏🏻

I guess my friends know that we live in Fort Myers, Florida and Steven is currently in the hospital at Tampa General. It is a 2 hour drive which I am used to. I have been staying with Steven in his hospital room, but as things progress I know I will not be able to stay in his room and I will need to find lodging somewhere close to the hospital. 

When Steven had his first heart transplant he was in the hospital for about 3 months. I remember the nurses attending him said his numbers always improve when he hears your voice. So, it is so important for me to be close. So many little costs arise from staying in Tampa. Could you help me so I can maintain my home in Fort Myers and stay with Steven in Tampa. I would be forever appreciative. I know it’s a lot to ask and it’s embarrassing too,
